How we read reviews →Carlton's popular halal Indonesian eatery famous for ayam penyet, spicy sambal and beef rendang.
Busy, no-frills Lygon Street eatery with a lively, sometimes tightly packed dining room. reviewers describe queuing at peak lunch times.
Fully halal certified; kitchen accommodates food allergies on request (reviewers praise the team going 'above and beyond'); signature house sambal balado made in-house.
Reviewers repeatedly describe it as tasting authentically Indonesian and 'like home', with several Indonesian-Australian diners calling it among the most authentic in Melbourne.
Seen as reasonably priced for generous portions, though a couple of reviewers flagged it as a little pricey for a big feed and called out add-on charges.
